Don ・ I have been under the care of Dr. Sano, who practices in the PAN AM building by Quixote.
I have had six-month checkups, small cavities, and fillings repaired and I am satisfied.
I have not had any major treatment. They seem to be busy with appointments, so please inquire in advance about availability.

Assuming a weight of 15 kg, USPS comes out to about $ 200, Yamato International Takkyubin $ 150 （ ） not including fuel surcharge, Jetpack $ 120 （ ） not including fuel surcharge, FEDEX $ 687. 687 came out to be 687. In my experience, Yamato seems to be relatively fast and reliable; USPS is not so reliable and unreliable with their estimated dates. I have never used Nittsu or FEDEX.

I have hired a detective in Japan, but not in the U.S., so this is not an answer regarding cheating investigations and entertainment agencies, but you know that if you have been married to a U.S. military husband for more than 10 years, the mri wife is entitled to receive pension and other benefits after the divorce. But if your husband's rank is reduced or he is dishonorably discharged because of your accusing him to the military, your benefits from the military will also be reduced. You will not gain anything by accusing your husband of cheating on you with the military out of spite. There are many benefits for Miri wives and children with U.S. military husbands, including health insurance and educational benefits. I think it would be smarter to do your research on marriages with US military husbands and if you are divorcing, act in a way that will allow you to have a secure life after the divorce, including the division of marital property such as TSP.

In Hawaii, 60% of international marriages （ divorce within 5 years. The divorce rate between a Japanese wife and her American Caucasian husband within 5 years is 80% in the U.S. mainland and 90% in Hawaii.

From this rate, it would be a miracle if the marriage lasts more than 10 years ？
You were prepared for this when you chose to marry an American ？.

It can be done smoothly if you have the company's contracted insurance agent prepare the documents for you.　
You are supposed to fill in the documents from the hospital, the working conditions (hourly wage, hours), and the status of your injury.

If you are injured at work, do not do it on your own insurance. It will only be a WORKERS COMP.
The owner should contact your insurance company and ask them about it, but for now, when you go to the clinic, tell them that you are a workers comp. They will fill out the paperwork and tell you what you need to do. Please make sure to get the owner's consent. It is obligatory.

Chubu,

I very much appreciated reading your information on 2022 and 2023. It is valuable information that last year you had to travel and stay overnight because of the PCR test, and that you had to pay for it yourself.
Even though there is no PCR now, it is still possible to ・ ・ ・ pay for it the next day on your own if you don't have enough time. This time, I was lost in a flight with a 1.5 hour connection at Haneda, but I was a little worried so I decided to take the flight after that.
I would be very happy to receive such information as whether or not there is room to stop at stores and how well stocked they are.

Thank you very much.
Thank you very much ！ ！ ！

Koji,

I thought it was a long time ago that I had been through Narita and had to go through immigration at the final destination (in my case Nagoya ）), but I guess it could have been because I went through Narita. At that time, as you say, the flight between Narita and Nagoya was treated as an international flight.
If you have to go through immigration in Nagoya and arrive in the evening, it will be late if you have to go through immigration there, so it would be nice to go through immigration at Haneda.

This time, I took a JAL flight to Nagoya via Haneda.
Thanks to the information I received about the immigration check at Haneda, I thought of staying overnight at Haneda, but ・ ・ ・ I had plans right after my return, so I had to take a same-day flight to Nagoya. ！

As for the return flight, as you said, the connection time at Haneda or Narita is long.
I decided to depart from Nagoya after 2:00 p.m. because with a morning flight from Centrair, I would have to consider an overnight stay at the airport the day before.

I wonder why the JAL counter is so hard to connect ・ ・ ・
It is really inconvenient. I have to wait for hours with the phone connected and listening to that music ・ ・ ・ I would like to avoid that, but I really hope it will improve somehow.

Delta removed from Centrair? ！
I didn't know that.
I had a bad experience with Delta in the past, so I try to fly JAL as much as possible, but it is not easy to change when I think about convenience and miles ・ ・ ・
You can never predict what will happen in the future, even in the airline industry.

Thank you very much for your frequent and varied information ！ ！ ！

nuiloamama,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience of Haneda transfer.
After hearing that, I wanted to stay overnight in Haneda and visit many places ！ but I had to give up this time because of my immediate schedule after returning to Japan. I couldn't get the flight I wanted this time, but thanks to the information you gave me, I will be able to stay overnight and see Tokyo, which is an exciting and gratifying experience for a countryman from a rural area.
Even if I have to pay for the change on the way back, if I think I can save the cost of the Shinkansen, I am thinking that an overnight stay may be possible ・ ・ ・.

The information of May 25th is very latest ！
It is full even at this time of the year ・ ・ ・
The return flight is in the middle of summer vacation and Obon, it is surely full.

Thanks a lot for your valuable information ！ ！ ！

Momo-san,

Thank you very much for raising this thread with Bing's timing.
I am glad to hear about various people's experiences. I'm finally going to be able to schedule an appointment here in the next few days.
（ It looks like the fuel surcharge is going down a bit starting today or tomorrow ）.

I am almost certain that I will be using JAL, and I will try to decide whether to choose a direct flight date or a via flight to give me more flexibility in my itinerary. If the itinerary is good enough to eat a lot of ramen noodles in Tokyo on the way back, the Nagoya flight after 2:00 p.m. is just right. I wondered if Delta is a company that takes a very serious review . Honolulu-Nagoya is not an option, but
Honolulu-Haneda has been postponed several times. There seems to be a plan to make Incheon Airport in Seoul into an Asian hub, so maybe Japan flights are on the back burner.

Have a nice trip, Momo-san!

By the way, I'm looking up HNL-NGO on JAL's booking site, and
there seems to be a bug with the recent system update.
https://www.jal.co.jp/ar/ja/

It is a bug, but the correct date is not selected when I click on the outbound and inbound date tabs.
For example, if I want to select 6/23 (Fri.) for return, I have to select 6/24 (Sat.) ） and
if I want to select 7/3 （ Mon. ） for outbound, I have to select 7/4 (Tue.) for return.
Chrome and Microsoft Edge confirm this.

Even if I want to tell JAL, I can't call or connect ～.
In the meantime, I reported it on the online form.
If anyone from JAL or JAL PAK is reading this, please contact the relevant department.

It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to make monthly savings. You may choose to keep your money in your IRA and not set aside any funds. You can have more than one IRA account, so you can open a new account at a different financial institution if the product you want is not available at that institution.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 65 years of age or older, younger and have certain disabilities, or end-stage renal disease （ ESRD ）.

Immigrants can also enroll in Medicare if they meet eligibility requirements. Since Medicare is an individual health insurance program, an individual cannot be enrolled in Medicare for his or her spouse or parents.

Can assist parents and spouses in obtaining permanent residence in the U.S. so that they meet Medicare residency eligibility requirements. According to USCIS （ USCIS ） a green card is required for permanent residence and may be applied for through family members. If an individual is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, the parents or spouse of that individual may apply for a green card through their relationship to that individual.

Please begin by checking your eligibility for Social Security.

Below are the eligibility requirements

How long do you have to be in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
Learn more about credits at www.ssa. gov/planners/credits.html.
Although you need at least 10 years of work (40 credits) to qualify
for Social Security retirement benefits , we base the amount of your benefit
on your highest 35 years of earnings.
（ How long must I stay in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
For more information on credits, visit www.ssa.gov/planners/credits.html.
You must have at least 10 years of service (40 credits) to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, but
benefit amounts are based on up to 35 years of earnings. ）

As you can see, Social Security eligibility requires
a minimum of 10 years of employment.
This can be found at https://www.ssa.gov/のサイトで個人のアカウントを作成する事でわかりますので
Please create and check your records. You can also check Medicare on the same site
please check this site.

What is the Social Security 5 year rule?
You must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five of the last ten years
In addition, see explanation above.
In other words, even if you live in the US, you must have paid Social Security
taxes and Medicare for five of the last 10 years.

I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, and when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.

I think you can check the website first and if you are eligible for Social Security, you can apply for Medicare
.

Thanks for the quick information. My phone is an iPhone 11 64GB. Like Mr. Koji, I can only insert one SIM card. Just yesterday I changed my contract to SPECTRUM and now I have eSIM. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if it is possible to use an eSIM and a physical SIM card to support a Dual SIM, as Koji-san said. If I can't use my US phone number while in Japan, I don't think it will be a problem, so I am planning to buy a data SIM card for Japan from Amazon in Japan. Thank you for your continued support.

LoveKihei,

I'm an android user myself and iPhone is a bit of a challenge, but
according to the Apple information below, iPhone 11 will have dial support with eSIM and physical SIM.
（ My phone does not support eSIM （ crying ） ）

https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/guide/iphone/iph9c5776d3c/ios#:~:text=%! E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81%E3%83%87%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB,eSIM%E3%82%92 %E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E3%81%A7%E3%81%8D%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82

Also Spectrum's plan, a quick check shows the following for international travel
https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/plans/international

If you enter "Japan" in the "Calling and Data Rates by Destination" field, you will get the rates while in Japan.
Talk Talk Calling and Data Rates by Destination Talk $ 0.05 / min, Text $ 0.02 intl, Data $ 0.01 per mb.
1 GB = 1000 MB, so $ 10 / GB, which is rather expensive.

The detailed settings are probably on the Apple site above, but
Make sure your data communication is through a physical SIM purchased in Japan, and
be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication through an eSIM. Please be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication via eSIM.
